The Vivitar 35EE is a 35mm automatic rangefinder camera produced by Vivita in the mid-1970s.

The above camera is a simple version of the Vivitar 35ES and has a darker lens of 2.8 compared to the 1.7 lens of the ES.

There is no manual function, and if you set it to AUTO mode, it automatically calculates and shoots shutter speed and aperture.

The design resembles the Konica C35 and the Minolta Himatic series.

It is also very similar to the Mamiya 135 EE. There are black and chrome versions, and the Revue 400S, Chinon 35EE, GAF Memo ET, Cosina 35 and the Prinz 35E are the same model only with different names. (Source: http://www.camerapedia.org/)
